Deleting certain month from certain year in Excel using VBA - vba

Question

I am creating macro which will loop through column F and will delete month april from 2013. It seem that the macro is deleting all :-D. I dont know how to set it to delete only my criteria I tried (Month(Now) - 2). Mine date of format looks like DD/MM/YYYY.
Thank you for your help.
Sub Test1()
Dim rgFoundCell As Range
Dim toBeDeted As Range
Dim firstAddress
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("F:F")
Set rgFoundCell = .Find(What:=(Month(Now) - 2))
If Not rgFoundCell Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = rgFoundCell.Address
Do
If toBeDeted Is Nothing Then
Set toBeDeted = rgFoundCell.EntireRow
Else
Set toBeDeted = Union(toBeDeted, rgFoundCell.EntireRow)
End If
Set rgFoundCell = .FindNext(rgFoundCell)
If rgFoundCell Is Nothing Then Exit Do
Loop While rgFoundCell.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
If Not toBeDeted Is Nothing Then _
toBeDeted.Delete ' Delete
End Sub

Answer 1

You can't use .Find in the way you think - it is only able to do text match or number match comparisons. This leaves you with having to cycle through each cell in the range and run your comparison explicitly on each cell
Sub Test1()
Dim toBeDeleted As Range
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("F:F")
For Each c In .Cells
If Month(c.Value) = 3 And Year(c.Value) = 2013 Then
If toBeDeleted Is Nothing Then
Set toBeDeleted = c.EntireRow
Else
Set toBeDeleted = Union(toBeDeleted, c.EntireRow)
End If
End If
Next
End With
If Not toBeDeleted Is Nothing Then _
toBeDeleted.Delete ' Delete
End Sub
You might want to consider running the function on a more refined range than the full F column or use an end of data marker like checking for a blank row to stop the loop.

Try this:
Sub Test1()
On Error GoTo e
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim rng As Range
Dim firstAddress
Set rng = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("F1", Sheets("Sheet1").Range("F1").End(xlDown))
Dim i As Long
i = 1
While i <= rng.Count
If Month(CDate(rng(i))) = 4 And Year(CDate(rng(i))) = 2014 Then
rng (i).EntireRow.Delete
Else
i = i + 1
End If
Wend
x:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
e:
MsgBox (Err.Description)
Resume x
End Sub
Maybe try to reduce the F:F range!!!
